Summary: My New Favorite Children's Book
Comment: This book has come to mean so much to our family...the simple story of the faerie boy and human girl teaches us about strength of character and appreciating differences, true. But as a Wiccan mother, this story has a special meaning for my children about being open to magical adventures and yet staying grounded in their own identity. The illustrations are breathtaking, and the poetry practically sings right off the pages. This book should be on every child's shelf.

Rating: 5
Summary: Absolutely Beautiful
Comment: This book is absolutely beautiful! The illustrations are gorgeous and the poetical rhythm of the rhymes that accompany the pictures are nothing short of lyrical. My favorite bit though, is the ending, where the author urges her young readers to " Be brave, be bold, be unafraid..." It takes traditional children's rhymes to a new level, reminiscent of old world poetry, and yet it is lively, easy to understand and fun to read out loud. It is simply literature for young children at its best!

Summary: Beautiful
Comment: I discovered this book in a class about writing children's books. While I have read many books by Jane Yolen, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite Yolen books with a poem as text. The poetry is intricate yet appears simple. This is a story that must be read aloud, simply to delight in the rhythm and the story. The illustrations are stunning, accentuating an already wonderful story. I strongly recommend this book for children, particularly in a read aloud setting. I also recommend this book for adults who love all things faerie or who appreciate a sweet tale that almost sings.
